poorboys... Tell me the truth

Love their Natty's paste waxes, look great, but not much durability. Poorboys Polish with Sealant is one of the best AIO's IMHO.

Agree 100%.. I use the Polish w/ Sealant on all my 1-step details. It leaves a nice and glossy finish, especially on black paint.

The wheel sealant is good too, smells great as well. The tire shine (Bold n Bright) is awesome too, and water based-nice satin finish.

Spray air fresheners are OK, just like the CG ones.

I can't agree with that. There are a lot of other sealants I would pick before that one.

Yeah, polishes & sealants are where I'd like to see them improve. I've started using Menzerna PL this year, & love it. And SSR1 is probably Poorboy's best polish, & Menzerna offers a lot more.
 
I can't complain about any of them. I always use these when I have to work in the sun.
I like their polishes. Ones you get to know them, they can remove anything you want. especially the PP2 and PP combo.

The waxes tend to last 3 months, as do a lot of other waxes, only others claim more, but in reality... and these days, you're never sure,because all the soaps and QD's offer protection over your wax. So who really knows these days.
 
So it really does work well in Sun at least better than others? I really want to try that wheel cleaner!
 
Thanx,
The poor boys wheel cleaner works very well.
I wasn't aware of the health caution
 
I have/used the following products by Poorboys:

- Black Hole
- Pro Polish
- EX-P
- APC
- Bug Squash
- Super Slick & Suds shampoo

I've found all of them worked really well and I enjoyed using them. I did find they worked well in sunlight. They will suffer from the same problems as any other products when the surface is hot from being in direct sun, just not as fast as other products I've used.
 
I have/used the following:

All Purpose Cleaner - was my go-to for light/med cleaning, until I discovered Optimum Power Clean, which I just like more.

Bold n’ Bright tire dressing - this and Zaino (Z18?) used to be my go-to tire dressings until I started using PERL. Still great, but I just prefer PERL now.

Bug Squash - just got a refill on my last AG order and for the first time tried it diluted (the 16oz spray bottle I used as-is previously, at full strength), and it still works fantastic. Great product! :xyxthumbs:

EX-P Sealant - great dripping wet salad dressing look. However I didn't find that the slickness lasted very long. And while removal seemed easy enough I would sometimes get some white residue in spots that would appear from time to time in the weeks that followed after a wash or a rain. (Note: AFAIK I have the "old" formula)

Natty’s Paste Wax - nice easy to use Paste wax. I found it to be similar to P21S. But I didn't really test it's durability at all. The product itself cracked and crumbed within its jar which is weird but it still works fine.

Spray & Gloss - I only just got some of this last year to try and it didn't disappoint. Very nice QD, but I've got so many its hard to pick it over some of my other favorites.

Spray & Wipe - This was my standard emergency waterless wash/wipe/QD I would keep on hand in my vehicle, until I discovered UWW+. Still a good product though.

Super Swirl Remover 2.5 - this is an ok swirl remover. I got ok results from it but I did find it dusted a lot on me.

Trim Restore - this one is hard to recommend. I found it streaked badly on me. I used it on the door trim on my '93 300ZX, for example, and had streaks all down my doors after a rain or a carwash.

Wheel Sealant - love this product. I still use it every winter/spring seasonal change on at least one set of wheels, but I also recently started using DP's wheel coating.

Exactly my experience, down to the version.

Can you use them in the sun. If so, name them for us.

thanks

It has nothing to do with the sun for me, I have my experience with the product which is exactly the same as Inzane's. I should add that many people reported the same with the newer version (which came out what, maybe 8 years ago?), as well.

So your saying that you do not need a product that works in the sun and that there are better products, however they need to be used in the shade or in doors.

Sorry I missed your point.

I agree with you.
 
Someone said "EX-P is a really great product" and I said I couldn't agree with that, and that there are other sealants I'd pick first. The sun didn't come into it.
 
To answer slimnib's question, I *think* Meg's Ultimate Wax can be used in the sun, but I'm not 100% sure.
 
The XMT line of products here supposedly can be used in direct sun too, but I have no experience with them.

If it cleans well I'm not worried about what's in it. I will be in an open air area.

Being in the open air is advantageous. But there are very important PPE that should be worn while using these types of very worrisome products.
